Making Demands of the Infidels

You more than likely have heard or read about Muslims in America demanding that public places install Muslim footbaths so the devout followers of Mohammed can properly cleanse their feet before prayer.

There is one major problem with this demand. Lebanese-born Brigitte Gabriel said the following: "I lived in the Middle East for the first 24 years of my live. Never once did I see any foot-washing basins in airports or public buildings. So why are they pushing them down the throats of Americans?"

This leads us to believe that the issue is not footbaths, but Muslims' attempts to manipulate infidels by trying to see how much they can get away with. How about we wake up in this country and show them that they can't get away with pulling anything over us. No special rights for Muslims, period!! If you choose to come to our country, you adapt to our way of life. If not, then stay home. We all know that our politicians would never have the guts to do as I suggested, and that is why we find ourselves in the mess we are currently in.

In the meantime, University of Toledo students are the latest to be demanding the controversial Islamic footbaths.

Ohio: Muslim Students Push for Islamic footbaths on campus

"Imposing sharia on campus. Muslim students are pushing to install footbaths at the University of Toledo in Ohio.

Your taxpayer dollars made to work for Islamic supremacists. Pay attention to how the demand is couched. Muslim students are installing Islamic foot baths in this university school because foot-washing in sinks is 'disrespectful to non-Muslims.' Yeah, ok.

Extra paper towel dispensers were installed, but 'this still was not accommodating.'

Muslim students push for ritual sinks on campus The Independent Collegian (hat tip Diane)


'When Omar Subei would perform wudu, the Islamic cleansing ritual before praying, he often felt uncomfortable when other people would walk into a public bathroom on and see him putting his foot over the sink.

"You have to raise your foot and put it on the sink and as you're taking your foot off the sink, your leg is dripping water," Subei said, a senior majoring in biochemistry.

Wudu involves an individual washing their hands, feet and face before engaging in prayer. They must perform the ritual one of the five times they pray during the day.

Subei said Muslims felt this was disrespectful to non-Muslims and the watery mess left over on the sinks would leave a bad impression on how non-Muslims saw them.

To solve this, Subei and other Muslims have been looking to install a small sink that would allow them to perform wudu cleanly.

Legislation was passed by Student Government to install the new sinks on the third floor of the Student Union near the Muslim Prayer room Tuesday.

The legislation states that two small sinks with drains at the bottom would be installed in both the men and women's restrooms. It calls for construction during winter break with the sinks completed by spring 2011.

Student Government President Matt Rubin said he was working with Tom Trimble, former director of the Student Union, to install these sinks.

"We noticed that paper towels were always running out and still [are]," Rubin said regarding the bathrooms on the third floor of the Student Union.

An extra dispenser was installed, but Rubin said this still was not accommodating.

"We've been asking so many questions about it and trying to find out what to do. We worked with Tom Trimble last fall to try to find ways to do it but there wasn't enough money," Rubin said.

Subei is not sure how much the project costs, but said he is first trying to get the plan finalized before costs are calculated.

Subei said this is something Muslim students have been wanting for a long time.'"


Did you catch the key sentence: "They must perform the ritual one of the five times they pray during the day."

If that is the case, then how about they cleanse their feet at home prior to morning prayers or in the evening prior to their last prayer time?
